Well, I know it's a little passe, but I've been using reiserfs for about 4 years and love it. The recovery is great ! And I've never had it totally go belly up on me !

But I had it gone belly up on me. And ext3, and xfs... all of them. It is shame reiserfs is doomed, though.
Ok,
last couple of years i found out that i didn't make backup's in vain. Both reiser, ext2, ext3, ext4 and xfs got beyond repairing (or would take too much time to do it).
Yeah, neither filesystems or RAID are replacement of backups. Regular PC hardware SUCKS, big time, top to bottom, from BIOSes to harddisk firmware. I cannot overemphasize this, not having backups is crazy.
So i'll guess btrfs will be no exception to the rule.
However, i've heard quite some impressive talks from SuSE representative to dismiss btrfs as too dangerous. If it is still "experimental" those guys wouldn't dare to include it into sles11sp2....
No, it is not "too dangerous" but "experimental" .
So as reiser gets end-of-life (no not hans reiser ;-) one starts to loke around. Specially when doing a re-installation.
reiserfs development was stalled and dying long before the tragic events ocurred.
I mean, some vague talks** at FOSDEM or so is one thing, but guys from Nurnberg talking to customers with support contracts is quite something else, not?
Well..money can buy you quick patches and support in cases thing go kaput...
So the original question was not _if_ one should choose btrfs, but in which case which filesystem should be used, knowing that each has its own flaws...
** i lost track of how many time i heard that AFS was almost finished..
No such thing as finished software.. finalized software is dead, ready to become part of museums and source of major pain. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
